U.S. Justice Dept. Probing Sony Unit

And the hits just keep coming for Sony. On top of the whole battery fiasco, now the US Justice Department has subpoenaed information from Sony with regards to their SRAM business. After several charges and fines in recent years regarding allegations of price fixing in the DRAM industry, the DOJ does not appear to be taking any chances with the SRAM industry.

TOKYO (AP) -- Sony said Tuesday the U.S. Department of Justice is probing its electronics unit as part of an industrywide investigation into sales of a particular type of memory chip. The news could spell more trouble for a company already stung by sinking profits, a global battery recall and product delays.
